Oskar Kokoschka painted a portrait in 1909 of the six-month-old son of Leopold and Lillie Goldman, whom he had met through Adolf Loos. At the time, Loos was building the iconic and controversial “house without eyebrows” opposite the Vienna Hofburg for the men’s outfitters Goldman & Salatsch. Fervent supporters of Viennese Modernism at the time, members of the Goldman family were later murdered in the Shoah. Kokoschka himself became an early target of the Nazi cultural policy. He emigrated to Prague in 1934 and on to London in 1938, where he settled once again in exile. In 1951 he moved to Switzerland and for the rest of his life never returned for any length of time to Austria.
